The Vote is under way!

[MadIvan]

Yes, most of the richest gains are from Labour, but there are former Tory seats like Richmond that break the heart when they remain Lib Dem.

How right you are Bubba did do some form of campaigning I remember seeing a big screen of him on TV. We all know as well Blair preferred to go to an economic summit with him and "BONO" instead of Poland for the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

[Republican Wildcat]

Oh no...that means they might come back...

[conservativebabe]

Thanks for the insights. I had a feeling that we get a distorted view by the media. Well, was very nearly cetain of it.

Can't wait to go.

[GiveEmDubya]

Well we'll just all have to wait and see. A possible upset certainly would make a fun election night, and the Conservatives can't really get much deeper in the hole than they already are (for the most part). If Labour has a net gain of seats, I'll eat a shoe.

[snugs]

I fear we are

My grandmother admired Lady Thatcher... When Lady Thatcher dies I'm sure my grandmother will meet her in Heaven..

He looks drunk again.

[Petronski]

LOL I love that.

Excellent. I hope Canada kicks out Martin - and then all the left wingers who moved from America to there would have done so for nothing.

It was the day after martin made the deal with the NDP, and this is Hamilton, Ontario, were talking about, the heart of the liberals stronghold of Ontario and not one caller was pro-martin, but were mad as hell.

Below is the link to the radio station, it was the Roy Martin show I was listening to.

I would give her a pass at present she only gave birth 10 days ago but as for Kennedy himself he looks as if he has been at the bottle again, with is with the name Kennedy and booze.

[rock58seg]

a throwback to the ridiculous exit polls last November.

Yeah! That was the one where the liberals lied, and said they voted for Kerry.

[snugs]

hear hear

[MadIvan]

I do not believe that Labour will gain seats tonight - there's no reason for gains. People, generally speaking, are tired and unenthusiastic about Labour.

Regards, Ivan

[RockinRight]

So what's your opinion on the strong Tory showing in the exit polls??

[Howlin]

What is the story here so far? Is Blair losing -- and if he does, is that bad for us?

[conservativebabe]

This has been fun, but I've gotta run, for now.

Thanks for all your helpful information today.

Be checking in later.

Good luck over there!

[snugs]

Thanks for the info Ivan is he your candidate mine is our current MP Damien Green.

[MadIvan]

Well this actually has some basis in the polling data - the data has hitherto indicated that the people most determined to go to the polls are Tory voters. If Labour voters stay at home...well things could get interesting.

Regards, Ivan

[snugs]

They seem more socialist than the Socialists to me.
